A woman went out in the evening to throw away the trash and found an almost new sofa at the dump. She decided to take it home: at home, she and her husband started repairing it, but suddenly her husband shouted, “Look what this is…” 😨😱

Emma went out in the evening to throw away the trash. The yard was ordinary, quiet, gray. Near the containers stood an old sofa and several bags. At that moment, a small truck pulled up to the dump. Two young men got out of the cab, quickly unloaded a worn armchair, didn’t even look around, and drove off immediately.

Emma stepped closer. The armchair was old, the fabric worn, one armrest torn, but the shape was sturdy and the frame intact.

“Strange, why would anyone throw something like this away,” she thought. “A little effort, and it will be as good as new.”

She stood there for a couple of minutes, then made up her mind and dragged the armchair toward the entrance. With difficulty, she carried it into the apartment.

— Are you serious? — her husband Daniel asked in surprise when he saw the find. — Are we collecting furniture from the street now?

— Look closely, — Emma replied calmly. — The base is solid. We’ll change the upholstery, and it will be a great armchair. You won’t even want to get up from it afterward.

Daniel shook his head but smiled.

— All right, since you brought it in, let’s try. But if there are cockroaches in it, I’m taking it right back out.

They moved the armchair into the room. Daniel took some tools and carefully began removing the old fabric. Meanwhile, Emma took out a thick light-colored fabric, thread, and placed the sewing machine on the table.

— Who even put this together? — Daniel grumbled as he pulled out the staples. — It’s holding tight, but it’s made carelessly. You can tell it wasn’t done by a professional.

He removed the upholstery from the backrest and moved on to the seat. When the fabric was almost off, he suddenly froze.

— Emma… come here. Quickly.

There was something strange in his voice. Emma stepped closer and leaned over the armchair. What they saw inside made their blood run cold. 😨😱 Continued in the first comment 👇👇

He pulled the stuffing apart, and inside there was a bundle. Then another. And a third.

They were neatly stacked bundles of hundred-dollar bills, tied with rubber bands.

Emma and Mark looked at each other silently.

— Where did they come from? — Emma asked quietly.

— If the armchair was thrown away, that means it wasn’t needed by anyone… — Mark said slowly. — So the person who threw it out didn’t know about the money. Or…

He fell silent.

— Or these are someone’s pieces of evidence, — Emma finished. — Maybe it’s connected to a crime.

The room grew unusually quiet.

— What should we do? Call the police? — she asked.

Mark ran a hand through his hair and looked at the money again.

— Or… maybe buy tickets and fly off on vacation?

They stood in the middle of the room, and on the floor lay something that could either change their lives… or destroy them.
